Property was spacious and clean with all the kitchen appliances you need. Soft beds, extremely comfortable. Flatscreen TVs in every room, along with all the movie apps. Only a few minutes from downtown Deadwood,would recommend and stay at this property again in the future.

Exceptional South Dakota Cottage
Daniel is a great host! Answered all of our questions promptly and offered great suggestions on the surrounding attractions. Cottage is very nicely decorated, exceptionally clean and perfect for families. Overstocked with towels and lines in case you need extra and very quiet stay. Location is perfect if you don’t want to be right in the mix of tourists without being too far out. 3 minute drive to downtown historic Deadwood. Walkable brewery around the corner. So much to do and so glad we booked with Daniel. We would absolutely love to stay at Spruce Tree again. The history behind this home is really fascinating too! Thank you for a very memorable time!

We thought that there is a lot more you could do with the yard and the view of the town from the front of the house. The entrance to the property was not good. Not the best look when you arrive. The interior was really nice!

Great place to stay
This is a very nice place to stay when visiting the sturgis deadwood and all the Black Hills. The house was very clean and had plenty of room. The host was very informative of all the places to see in South Dakota and had maps in the house for you too plan your day.

Cute house but not what I expected
The house over all was clean and looked very nice on the inside. The AC in the house are 3 window units that could not keep up with the heat outside. It was in the 100s and during the day the lowest the house would get was 80 degrees. It did cool off at night and it was fine in the mornings. As far as location the house is a little hard to find but it’s very close to all the events in lead and deadwood. The host was very responsive when we had an issue and there were plenty of towels, pillows, and linen for us to use.

Absolutely do it again!
Lead is a special place. This was a three generation Fathers Day trip. My Father was born in Deadwood in 1936. My son and I took him to revisit his past one more time and this Home was the perfect combination of Lead history, location and charm!

Ski Trip
Brought my family for the weekend for a ski trip, stayed in this house and it was really nice, the upstairs is great for teens and younger kids, not so much for older people, just because you have to go up and down a spiral staircase to be able to get to restroom, but the kids and teens loved it. Everything was great as far as cooking utensils, towels and plenty of extra pillows and blankets. The one thing I didn't like is that there was no broom, I like to be able to sweep and keep things tidy even though I'm on vacation. And also it's a little tricky finding it and not great parking. But if your looking for a nice little house to stay a weekend are a few more days it was perfect
